A's eyes seemed filled with tears
    that do not fall
at Dutchbat he escaped the chaffing
    by bare weeks
13 is an unlucky number here too

when the March for Peace is mentioned
    they light up for a moment
the other time this happens
    I think I had asked a stupid question
and then they twinkled 
    part pity part indulgence
i’m sure it’s not because he’d seen
    anything new under the sun
